lyrics

Don't call me that name anymore.
I don't feel like a bird, and I don't want to be yours.
I want to be cold, to move fast on the road
shimmering reflection, quiet and bold.

Mother, daughter, sister, crone.
Lover, departure, black widow.
I spin my web in stone
free in the woods to live alone.

Pretty house in the dark woods
moon reflected glimmering mud.
Isis,
sort my evils from my goods.
I want more than nice girls should.

Mother, daughter, sister, flood.
Lover, departure, caught in the mud.
I spin my web in blood.
Black widow, she did what she could.

NO MIRRORS IN THE PYRAMIDS I BUILD AROUND MYSELF.
I'LL DIE IN HERE, MY SOUL IN A JAR ON THE SHELF.
I'LL RAISE MY OWN HELL.

now smash the china on the ground.
now move your lips, don't make a sound.
let rivers flow north from the south.
let velvet tongue roll out your mouth.
